Aspiring artists will have the chance to leave an indelible mark in the history of Tarneit.
Wyndham council has opened expressions of interest for artists without any experience in mural installation to produce an artwork that will be installed on the wall of Ironbark Fields.
The proposed artwork will be installed on the pavilion wall facing the training pitch at Ironbark Fields, located at 1275 Leakes Road, and will be 45.2 metres wide by 4.4-5.4 metres high.
Anyone is welcome to submit their best ideas and visions for the wall, but Bunurong and other First Nations artists are strongly encouraged to apply.
Things to consider for those interested in making a submission is that the piece should add positively to the public space, should reflect the history, community, and unique qualities of the local area and the artwork will need to be original.
The piece is intended to improve community connection to the area and deepen an understanding of the place through truth-telling and/or story-telling.
Shortlisted artists for concept development will be required to attend a 30-minute Cultural Value session with Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation facilitated by council.
Applications close at 5pm on Monday, March 17, and the selected artwork will be installed by June.
